I’m sure that many people will agree that the only good tanks in the Japanese line are from tier VIII-X (must be maxed). The rest of the line simply isn’t enjoyable;

- you’d think that with the serious lack of armour WG would give them some speed? Nope. Most of the Japanese line can’t even go up a hill faster than 25km/h

- you’d also think WG may give the line some concealment? Nope. Chi-Ri is essentially the lame equivalent of Großer Kürfurst in WoWs. You can see the massive hulking atrocity from hundreds of metres away

- so with all that at least the tier 4-7 tanks have legit guns right? Well yes... then there’s Chi-Ri again that boasts that truly ‘amazing’ tier 6 autoloader that can’t even pen an IS3’s size with premium shells.

Am I not correct? As far as I’m concerned you don’t even have anything past the tier 2 from the Japanese line Jason_Yim. Essentially I don’t need comments from idiots who don’t know what their talking about. Fair enough?

I would say the Japanese line is NOT for frontline players or role and never should be played that way. Emphasis should be made to avoid taking any damage and unnecessary risks when supporting teammates particularly with Chi-Ri and Type 61. In that sense quite heavily dependent on the team not going full [edited] early on and ideally taking much of the incoming rounds for you.

Mid-tier with Chi-Nu and Chi-To isn't bad from my experience, just avoid going head-on against a loaded KV-2 and use the gun depression to minimize exposure like you would on US meds, though with the non-existent armor on the turret you don't have the staying power that US meds have.

Chi-He and Ke-Ho also isn't bad once you get the 57mm, the Ke-Ni is really fun and effective in the right hands unless going up against a Matilda, Hetzer or Valentine head-on, Chi-Ni and Ha-Go in my experience is a bit meh.

Lol as if I would take any advice from you. I would show your stats from BlitzStars but that would become REAL naming and shaming.

Seriousely, stop judjing people with their stats. Having a not so good winrate doesn't mean that he is deliberately being a [edited]. He may have bad stats, but as a person, that guy can be a great dude. He was just telling you to calm down since you did seem to be a bit frustrated. He wasn't trying to insult you in any way.

I have one thing to say. You sure that all you saw was just a bad winrate? I wasn’t even frustrated. I just don’t enjoy taking useless responses coming from useless players. Understand?

I just looked at his stats and in my opinion, they are not as bad as what you said. Maybe it's because I am an idiot myself, but i do not see why Noobieman is a useless player. In terms of winrate, 51% is quite decent and he is definately not a troll. Why do you think Noobieman is a useless player? In game stats wise and forum activities wise, I think he is a great person with a lot of potential.

Lol. Impressive you would come this far to defend him. Maybe I should have specified that I was just making a general statement. I don’t really care whatever people say. I assumed forums were for answering questions and receiving the opinions of players who respond with real answers (Diamond114, Jumper919029291 etc). Never did I realise I would have to deal with people taking small statements to rediculous arguments. Thank you all very much for the help, please read this properly to ensure don’t make up more trash and then claim I said it.
